Volume 1: An alien in the mirror

The first volume is about Ethan Allan Rogers, a student at Metier Junior High School and the son of the Metier, Wisconsin Police Chief. Ethan is very skinny and unsportsmanlike, but loves his comics more than anything. The only comic he's missing is "The X-Men" number one. It was only for his father's sake that he took over the position of assistant to the wrestling team's coach.

On his 13th birthday, Ethan discovers that his blood is no longer red, but silver! He also finds out that he suddenly has a 360 ° view and sometimes also infrared vision (his eyes no longer react only to light, but also to heat), can handle all weapons perfectly, and has mastered all fighting styles. Its bite is more poisonous than that of any known species of snake (neutroxin proteinase, adenosine triophosphatase, phosphodiesterases, ...). His reflexes are many times faster. He's the perfect fighting machine.

On his birthday, Ethan's parents register him as a karate gift - at Danny Koto's karate school. Ethan feels totally overwhelmed and demands the money back after the training in order to buy "The X-men" number 1 with the money. However, Koto-san asks him to fight his son Kenji. The two then fight in an adjoining room with a wall full of weapons. Ethan is terrified and wants to run away, but doesn't force himself to run away. Danny Koto strikes a gong and tells him to let the creature wake up. Ethan actually feels something awakening inside him. His fear is gone, he has an all-round view and can fend off all blows. After a while they use the guns from the wall in the fight and the fight gets faster and harder! Ethan is equal to Kenji. After a few minutes, Koto-san hits the gong again and the creature inside Ethan disappears, the usual fear returning. Then Koto-san gives him the money and says goodbye with the words “You are very special. Hanley's son. I knew your father. "

When he prevented an attack on the comic book shop "Planet-X" the next day and knocked the armed perpetrator unconscious, he was initially the hero. Then Mr. Winfrey, owner of “Planet-X”, gave him a very old, valuable comic, namely “The X-Men” number one! Although Ethan was actually hit by the knife during the fight, there is no visible injury, just a bump. During his one-day hospital stay, he learns on TV news that Akira> Danny <Koto died last night at the age of 100.

But only a short time later, Drew Molinary, Ethan's archenemy and star of the Meteor ring team, breaks into his locker, steals the valuable comic and tears it up. From the scraps, Drew lays a trail that leads to the school gym. Ethan can no longer control himself and a being inside him, Drew chokes in the gym until he passes out. At the same time, a creature with black disks instead of eyes appears and tries to kill Ethan. The being is as good a fighter as Ethan and can change shape. After all, there is a decisive battle in the school gym. The being who takes the form of Channel 2's Local Newscaster (Martin Treadweather) pursues and fights with him. During the fight the being calls him "Hanley's son" and says that Ethan was never intended for this planet and that he was the son of the greatest fighter in the galaxy. Ethan defeats him by biting his hand. The black disks slowly disappear, the entire head deforms. The stranger now looks completely normal again, only very dead!

The police attribute the stranger's death to a snakebite, and since Drew had lost his memory of everything that happened that day, Ethan claimed the stranger beat Drew up like that.
